Friendship Manor

Friendship Manor sits at 1209 21st Ave in Rock Island, Illinois, and people know it as a faith-based, non-denominational, nonprofit community that focuses on caring for seniors in different stages of life, and even though they're not taking new patients right now, you'll see there's a lot going on inside with independent living homes, assisted living apartments, specialized care for memory problems, skilled nursing, and even short-term respite and rehab after things like strokes, so it's not just a place for one kind of care but seems to have a mix of choices, and they have English-speaking staff who work around the clock, including nurses for both part-time and 24-hour needs, which means residents have someone for health concerns at any time of day or night, and what sets the place apart is that Friendship Manor, started by The International Order of The King's Daughters & Sons, Illinois Branch, offers a refund plan with partial refunds for the first two years which can help families, and the community's focus on faith and charitable work runs through all their activities, whether it's in their continuing care retirement model, business development programs, or community involvement, and for those who want to learn about finances, they run educational resources like blogs, fraud alerts, financial calculators, plus they offer wealth management with a team-so if someone wants help with personal or business finances, retirement planning, estate management, or setting up things like 401K plans, they have staff for that-while their commercial lending covers real estate, equipment, SBA loans, lines of credit, and other options for local businesses, and for daily living they've got amenities meant to keep life easy and interesting for older adults, including choices in food and activities, and alongside those regular things, Friendship Manor even provides economic development information and workforce resources, leadership and advocacy programs, and has villa homes as well as regular apartments, so even though they're a health and elder care facility, they've also built up a whole range of support systems for residents and local businesses, and if someone wants to tour, they can see the place and ask staff and current residents about life there, and all through the year, the Manor puts out news and event updates, spotlights its members, and encourages ways to connect with others, but above all, what you'll find is a steady, familiar environment with a long history of community and supportive care.
